Thought I'd save myself some cash and the effort of looking everywhere for detergent and started to wash with Tide free. Learned quickly that THAT was a terribly idea. So I researched, I stripped (dawn first-FAIL, and then RLR), I re-stripped...eventually, I (UGH) bleached, I stripped again and finally had clean dipes.

Then I moved on to Natureclean after reading some good stuff. But my DS got a bit red just above his "junk" and around his super chunky 2 month old thighs. I can't tell if it's from being wet, or if it's a reaction to the detergent. Anyone else get this with natureclean?
The dipes don't smell too bad. certainly not needing a strip, but they don't smell too good either. I even tried adding some oxyclean, dunno if this does ANYTHING

We have a well and a watersoftener, but I'm VERY sure our water is still pretty hard. I usually do cold rinse, hotwash/ cold rinse, hot wash(no detergent)/ cold rinse. Washing every other day....

I think it's worth exploring other options again......I bought some soap nuts and just ordering some samples of RnG hardrock.

I'm just not 100% satisfied with what I've got going on for dipe laundry and want to hear from you all more info about these 3 options. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

Soooo......I don't like natureclean at all, I found it never fully rinsed off and gave us the 'stinkies'. Ecover and seventh gen did the same. I do like the new 'bumgenius' cloth diaper detergent, as well as rockin' green and allen's naturally. These three have never steered us wrong.

I use Clean B on our diapers. Never had an issue and I have had lots of mama's say it is great with hard water. I only have to do one wash and never had an issue. I used RnG and had a ton of build up and didn't like it. you can get clean b at www.purecleanb.com.
